My laptop is in hospital....

Hello everyone!

Just when I recovered from jet lag

and began to feel human again

I decided to sort my photos and do a new post....

Sadly that wasn't to be as

my laptop nearly died...

she's now in the 

computer hospital

undergoing tests

and then will be operated on - or not

depending on what the specialist decides...

I'm a total wreck!

For three days I've had no access

to the internet so I haven't been able to visit you!

Has this happened to you

and did you have withdrawal feelings too!

I should hear by tomorrow

what the diagnosis is.

My dear son has lent me his laptop

today just so I could put you all in the picture!

Meantime I'm cleaning my house

(surely you are blinded by the sparkle!)

and trying to find my garden

among the weeds.

I can't wait to share more photos with you

and get into the swing of

blogging life again!

À bientôt

be kind to one another

MEMORIES OF 2013 FRANCE TRIP....

It gets harder and harder each time

I say 'au revoir' to my

french family.

I had the most wonderful six weeks

and shared many precious moments...

The girls and I made special cup cakes

on my last day

After a 33 hour trip home

I'm feeling jet-lagged

and naturally a little sad...

so I'm leaving you with a few

images of happier moments!

collecting raspberries

on her way up the garden -

as you do!

Dressed as a Princess at

Chateau d'Ancy-le-Franc

a fun walk in the forest

Ready to leave for 

Charles de Gaulle airport Paris ....

THANK YOU

to my dear friends

Dagmar, Mary, Suzy and Carolyn

for your sweet

'welcome home'

messages - 

that means so much to me!

À bientôt

be kind to one another

A Gift to Inspire....

I received this beautiful
birthday gift,
a hand made fabric and lace book
from my very dear blog friend
Suzy
of
Suziqus Threadworks

The beautiful front cover
tells the story about
my love of vintage textiles,
lace, embroidery and flowers

Exquisite details on each page of my book
completely takes my breath away.

Most of you who read my blog
already know Suzy
but those of you who don't
will appreciate a visit to her blog.

Suzy is a textile artist
and a source of inspiration
to all of us who follow her
creative journey.

Thank you dear Suzy
you have given me a gift
I will treasure always.....
and it will be part of my collection
to be handed down to my
granddaughters
in years to come!

Today I'm joining
Mary for Mosaic Monday
Isabelle for Monday Link Party
Claudia for A Favorite Thing
Becky for Blissful Whites Wednesday
Judy for Creative Mondays
Bernideen for Open House Thursdays

À bientôt

be kind to one another

Shane ♥

(only 12 days until I fly to France again -
can you imagine how excited I am at 
the thought of being with my grandchildren again)!!!
